Not so much a building but a another important open space.

At a recent meeting at which over NINETY MEMBERS WERE PRESENT, the issue of 'People's Park', was discussed and whether the society should support the campaign to raise funds to hire legal expertise to return the site back to the people of Sudbury.
It was agreed after much discussion that it would be better to raise funds to enable the site to be repurchased from the NHS as it appeared the legalities of the NHS case in its purchase and right to sell the land appeared to be 'water tight'.
